《The Forgotten Soldier Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Forgotten Soldier Boy - Bill Monroe (比尔·门罗)

[00:00:04] I'm just a poor ex soldier

[00:00:08] That's broken down and blue

[00:00:12] I'm fought out in the great world war

[00:00:16] For the old red white and blue

[00:00:20] I left my parents and my girl I love

[00:00:25] To France did go

[00:00:28] And fought out on the battlefield through the hunger

[00:00:33] Sleet and snow

[00:00:45] I saw my buddies dying

[00:00:49] And some shell shocked and torn

[00:00:53] Although we never faltered

[00:00:56] At the battle of Amarne

[00:01:00] And we were told when

[00:01:02] We left home we'd be heroes of the land

[00:01:08] So we came back and found

[00:01:10] No one would lend a helping hand

[00:01:31] They promised gold and silver

[00:01:34] And bid us all adieu

[00:01:38] They said they'd welcome us back home

[00:01:41] When the terrible war was through

[00:01:45] We fought until the war was over

[00:01:48] They said we'd won the fight

[00:01:52] But we have no job or money

[00:01:56] No place to sleep at night

[00:02:08] They called us wandering boys bums

[00:02:12] Asking for shelter and bread

[00:02:15] Although we fought in no man's land

[00:02:18] And a many poor boy is dead

[00:02:22] So listen to my story and lend a helping hand

[00:02:29] To the poor forgotten soldier boy

[00:02:33] Who fought to save our land
